Traded 15400 steel for gold
Traded my black dial 15400 steel and a couple other pieces for the blue dial 15400 rose gold. Dial is hard to capture - very dark and similar to the 15202 blue dial. Goes from black to deep blue depending on the light.

Screen capture from AP's site .. note the Availability to be Confirmed legend towards the bottom. Anybody has any info?Thanks!

So far, those around me (that are not smitten with all thing

I ve checked with the other sleeves back and forth so it was the pin too small.I m not saying it needs zero force to push it through but a very slight movement is enough to get it in and out.Watch is BNIB from an AD-i cut the seal- one month old prematured wear isn t the issue in this case.My advice either check or get checked your pins if it happened with me it could happen with you.For those who are not aware ,PP went from screws to pin fitted bracelet a couple of years before due to the large number of broken screws ,the system is simple a pin and a sle
